cardioprotection induced in a mouse model of neuropathic pain via anterior nucleus of paraventricular thalamus

Overall, our results demonstrate that chronic pain induces cardioprotection via a central mechanism involving activation of PVA neurons. To investigate whether chronic pain provides cardioprotection, we induced myocardial IR injury in mice 5 days after SNI (Fig. Quantification of TTC staining showed a significant reduction in infarct size in the SNI chronic neuropathic pain group...
